Back in the study, Lu Tingxiu pondered again and again, and put pen to paper.

Put the secret letter into the seal, seal it with a wax seal, and hand it over to the black shadow who was quietly waiting by the side, "It's an urgent secret, you personally send this letter back to the capital." ”

The black shadow's eyes flashed with astonishment, but he didn't dare to show the slightest fatigue, and took the letter and put it into his sleeve, "Lord Lu, when will we take over the stone grease water of the Black Burning Mountain?" ”

"So as not to have too many dreams at night, I will take over tonight." Lu Tingxiu thought for a moment and added: "Give those children a sum of money and send them out of Lin County overnight to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing." ”

The black shadow left, and Lu Tingxiu thought of the prediction mentioned by Xia Qiu, spread out the map of Lin County, studied it carefully, and re-planned the deployment.

As soon as the dishes and wine were put on the table, everyone just picked up the chopsticks, and the king of rubbing rice came.

Xia Qiu suspected that Xu Mingliang was deliberate, he could always squeeze the time to a fraction of a second, and then eat and drink in a grand manner.

Xu Mingliang was very proficient, and naturally picked up his chopsticks and patted his ass, "Sister Xia, your skills are getting better and better, Lord Lu is really blessed." ”

"What nonsense!" Old man Tu is not afraid of the earth, he is afraid that the two of them will make a firewood together, but this surnamed Xu will hit the muzzle, how could he let go of the opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys and fight cattle across the mountains, so he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "As a court official, if you take the imperial food to eat the imperial grain, you should take it as your own responsibility to benefit the people, talk about the love between men and women all day long, and eat the feelings as food?" Every day, I and I are tired of working together, and the murderer who killed five people has been caught? ”

Lu Tingxiu, who was shot in the back, and Xia Qiu secretly glanced at each other, and no one dared to provoke the old man who ate explosives.

Xu Mingliang was confused, seeing that the two Bodhisattvas didn't squeak, and they didn't provoke the old man, he smiled embarrassedly, "Doctor Tu, don't worry, I'm not here to report the case." ”

Old man Tu said impatiently: "Say it quickly, don't talk about it." ”

When it comes to the case, Xu Mingliang doesn't dare to make his own decisions, so he can only ask for the opinion of the magistrate with his eyes.

"The Hanging Pot Pavilion was framed, and Elder Tu and Xia Qiu are considered to be one of the bitter masters of this murder case, if you have something to say, you can say it bluntly."

As for the two that I didn't order, I silently piled up the rice bowls with vegetables, and automatically took them outside the house to eat.

Instructed to do so, Xu Mingliang reported the case, "According to the instructions of the adults, we collected the footprints of a hundred people, and under the same conditions, even if we wore shoes of the same size, we did not find that the two pairs of footprints coincided.

Xia Qiu was confused when she listened, "Just by the footprints, can you really determine who the murderer is?" ”

Xu Mingliang teased Guan Zi, and looked at the county magistrate's eyes full of admiration.

Lu Tingxiu smiled indifferently, "In fact, everyone's feet are unique, even if the size is the same, but due to people's weight and different action habits, it will cause different forces on the feet."

A few years ago, there was a notorious murder case in the capital, Jing Zhao Yin laid a net, but was played around by the murderer, for three months did not find any clues, and later the criminal officer collected the footprints of the murderer, in order to support his thoughts, he collected the footprints of thousands of people, and none of them were the same. He took advantage of this characteristic and finally brought the murderer to justice after investigation. This case was a sensation, and later in several cases, the same investigation method was also used to quickly find the suspect, plus other evidence, there was not a single case of unjust, false and wrongful convictions. ”

Unfortunately, this method of judging the case has not yet been incorporated into the criminal law, and can only be used as Sasuke to decide the case.

"Lord Lu, there are a total of eighty-six people in the city, of which sixty-three are outer eight-character and twenty-three are inner eight-character, and the official has informed them that they will come to the yamen early tomorrow morning to assist in the investigation of the case."

"So, you'll be able to catch the murderer tomorrow?" Xia Qiu sandwiched chicken legs for Lu Tingxiu and praised him without hesitation, "My lord has worked hard, I see that you have lost weight in the past few days, so you need to eat more." ”

"Not necessarily, but don't worry, I've got an eyebrow."

Xia Qiuyi was happy and continued to put meat on him.

Old man Tu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, Xia Qiu hurriedly made up for his share, "Master, I specially stewed dragon bone soup for you, which will help you sleep peacefully." ”

In the dead of night, the silver moon is bleak.

In the backyard of the mansion, a whistle suddenly sounded.

The sound of the flute is low and frustrating, high and low, sometimes like a storm, sometimes like a gurgling stream.

The sound was not loud, but it woke up Wei Ge in the front yard. The person who practiced martial arts was deaf and clear-sighted, and the sound of him lifting his sword and going out attracted the attention of Lu Tingxiu, who was still in the study to check the city defense map.

Hiding the city defense map, Lu Tingxiu followed to the backyard.

Wei Ge drew his sword and jumped onto the courtyard wall, following the sound of the flute.

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the backyard was silent.

Lu Tingxiu's face changed suddenly, and he hurried towards Xia Qiu's room.

The room, where the roaring beast sounded intermittently, and the door was tethered from the inside.

In a hurry, Lu Tingxiu broke into the door.

Xia Qiu was still in a nightmare, her body was stiff and cold, her hands were bruised, and she was clenching her throat tightly......

The strangeness in front of him frightened Lu Tingxiu's face drastically, and he reached out to break her hands.

Xia Chubby's strength to kill himself was too great, and he had already pinched himself to the point that his face turned purple but he didn't know it.

Afraid of breaking her fingers, Lu Tingxiu turned over and sat on top of her, using his own strength to stabilize her struggling body, and he calmed down and broke her fingers one by one......

Trapped in a nightmare, she suddenly opened her eyes with a "bang", and her pupils were blood-red and gloomy.

With overwhelming strength, he slammed into Lu Tingxiu.

This is not Xia Chubby, this is clearly a monster with controlled consciousness. If she can't get out, she will either kill herself or become a murder tool completely.

Saying that it was too late, Lu Tingxiu avoided Xia Qiu's attack and raised a punch to hit her in the face.

Afraid that he wouldn't wake her up, he was a heavy thief.

Xia Qiu was directly beaten down, and the whole person "clanged" down, and there was no movement anymore.

Oops, no breathing.

Lu Tingxiu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly pinched people.

After a while, the stiff Xia Qiu sat up and opened his mouth to breathe......

People are alive, but their souls are still drifting.

Lu Tingxiu rubbed her stiff limbs and kept patting her face, "Xia Chubby, Xia Chubby......"

Her eyes wandered, and she could only see that his mouth was buzzing in a hurry, and her ears could not hear anything.

Until, the hot pain hit, and the body was lying on the edge of the bed, coughing violently.

After a while, when the others eased up, Xia Qiu touched his neck that was almost broken, and his heart palpitated.

In the dream, she is a wandering walking corpse, conscious at first, and then her body soon becomes uncontrollable.

If it weren't for Lu Tingxiu's personal confirmation, she wouldn't believe it at all, this was the second time she tried to kill herself, and she didn't have any memory.

Seeing that she was confused, Lu Tingxiu guided her step by step, "Think about it again, did you hear the sound of the flute in your dream?" ”

Flute? As soon as he reminded him, Xia Qiu woke up like a dream, as if there was a voice that went directly into his brain.

Lu Tingxiu is proficient in music, but when he chased him to the backyard, the sound of the flute quickly disappeared.

He only remembered two sentences and wanted to hum them to Xia Qiu, but found that the rhythm was outrageously wrong, and it was translated into a whistle tune that could not be a tune.

At this time, Wei Ge had already turned back, his face full of chagrin.

In terms of martial arts, there are only a handful of people who can make Wei Ge deflated.

It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentions it, Wei Ge gets angry, that person is not as easy as himself at all, and he actually uses despicable means to make a trick.

She took advantage of the dark wind to scatter her soul, and Wei Ge sucked some by mistake and almost lost her life.

Listening to Wei Ge's meaning, after he was inhaled and ecstasy, the piercing sound of the flute came from all directions. The music kills people invisibly, as if they are ambushed in all directions, making people have nothing to hide.

Those who practice martial arts have strong concentration, otherwise Wei Ge will not be able to come from the confusing flute dilemma**. He didn't know the flute, but he memorized the tune.

He performed light skills, plucked a leaf from the courtyard, and blew it out directly.

It is precisely because he does not understand the rhythm at all, and he blows it completely from memory, and he does not have the attention of a proficient person.

Hearing the complete song, Xia Qiu's heart was pounding and his palms were sweating, while Lu Tingxiu's expression was solemn, but the situation was much better than Xia Qiu.

It's a magic melody, and it's clearly coming for summer and autumn.

Is it temptation, or is it murder?
